I just changed the o-rings on upper intake manifold on my 2k v6 sohc 4wd. My question is what is the clearance between the upper and lower after the gaskets are replaced. I replaced the upper and for some reason the it won't start without a jump or keep running after cables are removed without pressing the gas. The cold start issues led me to changing the manifold gaskets. Right now I'm tearing it down again to see if there is a pinched gasket or vac hose at the rear before I give it a try again.
 






Not running without holding gas down sounds like idle air control valve. You should also replace the lower gaskets on the intake as well. You can usualy clean the idle valve with carb fluid and get it going for a while longer.
 






I agree tear it back down and check everything.
